Brink- ley of Anacostia and the Bottlers’ Protec- tive Association of Washington in refer- ence to a large lot of bottles which were replevined some months ago by the latter from Mr. Brinkley and which Mr. Brinkley claims were taken by him several years ago in good faith and in exchange for bot- tles which were issued by him and taken by other parties in the course of trade.

Martha West Drowns Herself in the River. Constenily Maltrented by Her Hus- band—Other Happenings Across Rock Creek. Mrs. Martha West, a thin, pale-faced lit- tle woman about forty years of age, com- mitted suicide by crowning this morning. She jumped into the Potomac near Ten- ney’s mill, Georgetown, about 8 o'clock, sank, came up and sank again. Geo. War- ren of the schooner Clytie, lying near, saw her then, and attempted a rescue. Before he cculd accompiish anything, however, the woman wert down for the last time. The body was recovered a few moments later and carried to the shore. Restora- tives were applied and all resuscitating methods adopted, but only a gasp or two rewarded the workers, and death quickly followed. The patrol was summoned and the body was taken to the seventh pre- cinct morgue. She Left a Sad Letter. The suicide wa3 the wife of Alexander West, who resides on the Canal road, just west of the Aqueduct bridge. It was a deliberate suicide, as evidenced by the following letter, found at the wo- man’s home by a small son, and turned over to Officer Augustus Brown: “For Willie West: “Good-bye to all. I am going to the river—going to leave all of you forever. I am tired of life. Take care of my dear children. Life is no good to me. The river is my purpose. Take care of Howard for my sake. Farewell, I will never see your face again. In the river you will find me. Her Husband's Cruelty. Mrs. West's domestic life has been very unhappy, and the general belief is that she scught rest from it in death. Her hus- band has b22n arrested several times for wife-beating, though when he was taken to court she would always intercede for him. Neighbors and the police say the West home was in a turmoil the greater part of the time. There was never happiness there. Several children are left by the suicide. The Howard, of whom she speaks in her last lezter, was sent to the Reform School, but escaped some time ago and is still at large, it is said.

Arrangements are being made to hold an echo meeting of the Bos- ton convention on the 20th instant, STRONG AND ROOSEVELT CHEERED. is They Addressed Catholic Total Ab- xtainers, The crowd which attempted to gain ad- mission to Carnegie Hal, New York, last night, to listen to the addresses to the Tctal Abstinence Union; ‘was so large that Secretary Doyle announced from the porti- co of the main entrance that as the big hall would not accommodate all those who had gathered, some of the speakers of the evening would address the people from the steps. a Shortly after the delegates entered the hal! Father Doyle advanced to the center of the platform and received Archbishop Corrigan, Bishop Keane of Washington, Mensignor Bessonier of Indianapolis, Fath- er O'Brien of Indianapolfs, Vicar General Mooney, and the other, prominent ciergy- men of the conyention. * Vicar Genergl Mooney, chairman of the committee of Wrrangements, in a short ad- dress, introduced Archbishop Corrigan as chairman of the evening. The archbishop was again cheered when he rose to speak. Archbishop Corrigan’s Remarks. He said: “It is an honor and a privilege to preside at this meeting. All agree that the virtue of temperange, if it is to bear fruit, must be linked with Christianity. The Catholic Church is a great temperance scclety, and has been for centuries. The pringiples of the Catholic Church ever re- garded the virtue of temperance as the greatest of all. All others depend on it. The church teaches her children to be temperate in all things and thus obey the law and be good citizens. I trust you all will now and always hold this virtue and work for it, so as to remember our silver jubilee.” Mayor Strong Applauded. Vicar General Mooney introduced Mayor Strong, and after waiting some little time till the renewed applause stopped, he wel- comed the convention in a short address: ‘The mayor said, among other things: “When in St. Paul a year ago you de- clded to come to New York this year, you had no idea at that time when you came to this city you would find the civil govern- ment of the city engagefl in a war for the upholding of the interest you represent.

O'Sullivan Hixsed State Senator O'Sullivan spoke and fa- vored freer excise laws. He was frequently hissed. Archbishop Corrigan at last had to get up and say: “There must be no marks of disapprobation. If there are any fur- ther marks of disapprobation to any one who has been invited by your committee to speak to you I must instantly leave the hall.” Senator O'Sullivan cut his speech short. He was followed by President Roosevelt of the police hoard, who was greeted ef- fusively with cheers. He answered Senator O'Sullivan, and denounced the attitude the senator assumed. President Roosevelt was frequently applauded. ——— ANNOYANCE TO CANADIANS. Blasting Operations Carried on at Niagara Falls.

The superfority of the news Service of the Associated Press over rival organizations is shown daily, but on some days, as might be expected, it stands out pre-eminently strong.

Assaulted on an Electric Car—General News of a Bustling Com- munity—Notes. A family unpleasantness was aired in the police court this morning and attract- ed quite a number of curious people, but they were cleared out of the court room before that trial came up. Geo. Wood charged his brother Carlie with having made an assault on him with a knife in one hand and a brick in the other. It is alleged that Carlie, who is nearly blind, and his wife are being constantly taunted by George and his family for being poor and having to accept alms at times. Carlie and family naturally feel sore about it, and yesterday, it is charged, George's wife wrote her sister-in-law a rather uncom- plimentary letter and shortly afterward they came together. Some one rushed in and told Carlie that George had struck his wife, and Carlie rushed to the rescue with the knife and brick, but did not use either of them. After hearing the evidence Jus- tice Thompson fined Mr. and Mrs. Carlie Wood $1 each. In the Mayor's Court.

France Will Build Two Cruisers Like Our Champion Columbia. News has just reached the Navy Depart- ment that the French government has shown Its appreciation of the fine capabil- ities of the flect cruiser Columbia by or- dering the immediate construction of two vessels as nearly a duplicate of the fa- mous American flyer as they can be made in the absence of our exact plans. They are to be known as “Crotseurs Corsaire or pirate cruisers, and notwithstanding the criticisms that have been passed upon the Columbia because of her light battery, these French crulsers will have still smai er caliber guns, the largest being but 6.5 inches, as against S-inch, guns for the Co- lumbia. —_—_+o.___ QUARANTINE RULES MODIFIED. Secretary Morton Issues an Order Respecting Canadian Shee, Secretary Morton has Issued a special or- der regulating the importation of sheep and lambs from Canada for immediate slaugh- ter, and modifying the recent rules for their quarantine and inspection. These will be admitted into the United States hereafter when accompanied by certificates having the following new and more liberal pro- visions: ‘A certificate from the official veterinary inspector of the port of export or district in which the animals were raised or fed, stating that no contagious disease affecting sheep has existed there during the past three months. - ‘An affidavit from the owner or importer that such animals are from the district cov- ered by the certificate; that they were not elsewhere during a period of three months preceding shipment, and that when not driven they have been shipped direct to the port of import in clean or disinfected cars. --—___—_. The Degraded Chinese Officinl. At the Chinese legation it is stated that Hsu Yung YI, said to have been dismissed from the Tsung Li Yamen, ts a man of dis- tinction, although he {s not, as the cable states, the chief minister of the foreign council. He has not been engaged in diplo- matic work until recently, when he was appointed on the Tsung Li Yamen to take special charge of the Russian loan and the French concession. This latter concession refers to certain privileges of commerce and communication between French Ton- quin and southern China. The tegation has not heard that Hsu Yung Yi's mission was other than satisfactory, and there is sur- prise at his dismissal. a Se Drowned at Virginia Bench. Col. Thomas Moberley of Richmond, Ky., while bathing in. front of the Arlington Cottage, at Virgina Beach, yesterday, with his family, was drowned while endeavoring to save one of his daughters. The young lady went beyond her depth, and her father, seeing her danger, went to her rescue, and, being unable to swim, he sank before he could be saved. Miss Moberley was rescued and brought safely to shore by Mr. Martin L. Greenwood of Norfolk. Col. Moberley was the owner of the famous world’s fair premium short-horn herd of cattle that never met defeat. PENSIONS FOR POLIC! cMEN. A Board Created to Decide Upon the Disabilities of Four Officers, Major Moore has issued an order con- vening a board to pass upon the physical qualifications of Policemen Wheeler, Drane, Auldridge and Preston. The board, which is to consist of Captain Austin and Lieu- tenants Heffner and Swindells, will con- vene on Monday morning and hear evi- dence. They will then recommend whether or not the officers mentioned or any of them are entitled to a pension, and if so, how much. Ex-Detective Wheeler and Officer Aul- dridge have been in the service of the police department many years, and their conditions, it is thought, is the result of police duty. Officer Preston has been on the police force several years and has a good record. Last winter, while in the discharge of his duty, he fell and broke his leg, and the question to be determined is whether or not the injury will forever incapacitate him for police duty. Police- man Drane has been on the force about fourteen months, during which time he has contracted some stomach trouble, which, it is thought, unfits him for duty. ——_—+. —_ Union Veteran Officers.
